Shadow Skill

Gau Ban is a boy who is struggling to become a "Sevalle," the strongest class of warrior in the mercenary kingdom of Kuruda. Gau's elder sister, Elle Ragu, is the 59th "Sevalle" and holds the honorable title of "Shadow Skill." The story develops around the two siblings, as they fight magical monsters and historical warriors. The major part of it is a battle called "Shadow Skills" that is fought with only the hands and feet. It begins when the historical warriors chant the words "We are invincible!" and obtain superhuman powers.

Originally published as four volumes by Takeshobo and Kadokawa but was not complete until 1998 in the final serialization in Dragon Junior which was released in tankoubon in 1999 by Kodansha as Volume 5 "Shadow Skill Phantom of Shade." Kodansha resumed the series in 2001 in Afternoon.

Note: For example, the current volume 8, is basically the volume 13 of the series. The series began again from number 1 (but the story is still continued)
